from teaching to television....

From teaching to television hosting. Well, some might consider this career shift too late and too drastic for someone like me who'd been in the teaching profession for a total of 27 fruitful years. But if you ask me, I consider this change a sort of moving forward. Getting stuck in the teaching profession for 27 years wasn't really that bad but we need to grow, right? We need space, we need to see the other side of the pasture if there are some greener areas there for us. Honestly, in my two years of producing and hosting a local TV show, it is only now that I can have some money stashed away for savings. My 27 years of teaching never allowed me to save a single cent. And that meant lots of work and time investment. I believe that there is really nothing wrong with career shifts at any point of your life especially if it leads to better working hours and compensation. Forgive me for saying this but I should have done this 20years ago. But for as long as the clock still ticks and the earth still revolves in its own axis, I'm feeling good with what I have now.

shifts and changes

We have recorded the 2nd episode of our show and it went on smoothly. This is our halloween edition so we had a huge spider's web on the set, a giant black spider, and masks that served as props. Guests were from some of the gimmick places in the city and they got to talk about their different gigs.

Incidentally, I am really tired of teaching. I had proven this when I was asked to tutor some Koreans and after a day, I did not want to go back there anymore. It's just that I am too fed up with teaching, having done that for 26 years, and I don't think I will ever want to do it again.

I am happy with how our TV show is moving---slowly, but surely. This is my new career and I think I am loving it. Thinking of all those years I've wasted, I think I should have done the shift much, much earlier. But anyway, better late than never.
